Sowing Tulip Poplar Seed is Done Well by Modified Sawdust Spreader with Tractor

Sowing tulip or yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) seed to produce even stands has always been difficult. Hand seeding is universally used. Most nurserymen sow an amount of seed along the rows between each pair of pipe line uprights which they have found will provide uniform, desirable density. It is almost impossible to supervise the many workers needed for the job so as to insure an even stand. Usually the sowing will be excellent at first, but soon the novelty wears off and seed is thrown in bunches.
